This is kind of/sort of a specialty review for the amazing performance of the pharmacy in this new vaccine world of ours!
History- I had multiple bad experiences getting vaccinated at your typical big box chain pharmacy. Long waits, botched appointments, screwed up paperwork, you name it. I experienced it! Several of my friends suggested I try Publix, so I gave them a shot. It's the fall vaccine season so, as an older Yelper I needed three shots and I like to do mine separately as opposed to simultaneously. This is my story.
Online- An absolutely wonderful experience. Well-designed and easy to understand and navigate. Do all your paperwork here instead of on a clipboard at the pharmacy. I hate those clipboards!
Appointments- You can go either way at Publix. You can do first-come-first-served or by appointment. If you enjoy root canals, go without an appointment! If you like smooth efficiency, get one online. It's quick and simple.
So, I had three appointments over about five weeks.
* For each one I was seen either early or on time.
* There was no onsite paperwork! In just one case I needed to do an electronic signature. That's it!
* In every case I was treated professionally and by genuinely friendly folks.
* I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to walk out of the store 5 minutes after my appointment time on three separate occasions!
This is how the world should work! If I could award ten stars I would. They deserve it! read more
